Fall 2013 Happenings

We blessed Matthew the last Sunday in September.  Both the Anderson's and Mitchell's were able to be there.  With David we didn't have any family come since we were in Texas, so it was so nice to have some family support!    






Over conference weekend, we went on a nice senic drive up to Bellingham.  All the trees were changing colors, it was beautiful.







 Matthew turned 2 months old on Oct 8th.  15 lbs 2 oz.  He is growing like crazy!  He smiles and laughs a ton.  He really is a good baby and doesn't cry much unless he is hungry.  His hair is starting to grow back.



We made a trip to Utah in the middle of October!  This was the first time we got to show off Matthew!  We got to see all of my siblings, my Mom and Kate!  It was a fun trip!  David and Matthew did great on the plane both ways.  Coming home home I flew by myself because Doug had left a few days before and I was so worried, but it worked out perfectly.  David had a blast with all his cousins!











Can you guess the age difference between these two?  If you guessed 2 weeks you would be right!  Crazy huh?   




For Halloween David was a train conductor and Matthew a pea pod.  David absolutely loved trick-or-treating.  He got lots and lots of candy from all the neighbors since there aren't a ton of kids in the neighborhood.  Grandma Plaster was here for a whole week during this time.  I am horrible at picture taking and wish we got more picks of this week.  We enjoyed her a ton!  David was so sad when she had to go home.
 







Matthew turned 3 months old on Nov 8th.  16 lbs 2 oz.  He is pretty much off the charts.  He still laughs and smiles tons.  He has had a cold that lasted quite a while so we ended up at the urgent care twice in the last two weeks.  He is much better now.  He is trying to roll to his side.  He is more alert and hasn't been sleeping the best.  I am pretty sure he is teething.  Lots of slobbery spit up.





David is now potty trained!  We followed the 3 day plan that Sara Young had suggested and it worked like a charm!  He loves that he is a big boy now, and so do we!
